Owen O'Devine

Owen O'Devine (1838-) was an Irish immigrant to the United States who settled in the Five Points slum of New York City during the 1860s. In July 1863, when he was informed by Royce M. Wheeler that he had to register for the draft, he refused to join the Union Army and instead got into a scuffle with him, leading to the police arresting him for draft dodging.
